(Teen) Behind The Wheel Curriculum

(B.T.W. - 6 Hours)

Koby's Driving School L.L.C. strives itself to give each student the optimum driving experience and time within the State mandated six (6) hour requirement. We strive to give more driving time and mileage than other private and public schools. We can also interact with parents via e-mail or telephone on updates of their teen's progress and performance. Here are some of the areas that each student may drive while they are behind the wheel with our driving program.

Drive #21.0 - 1.5 hours

Light to medium density city driving, minor to complex intersections with signs and signals. Aims at developing skills to drive in safe lane position, more turnabouts, lane changing, some highway driving, pulling over to the curb and some parking exercises if time permits. (Usually done in the Kakaako/Kaheka/King St./Beretania St./Airport-Lagoon Drive area.)

Drive #51.0 hours

* (Hours and Areas to practice are estimates. Times and locations are not limited to above mentioned locations. Traffic and Weather also may determine start and end times and locations.)

* Prices may be subject to change based upon increasing fuel prices

* Current Honolulu Rail Transit construction and other State and City construction project will affect start and end times.

Teenage Curriculum

1. Students must attend and complete all 6 hours of BTW training with a Department of Transportation certified instructor.

2. Students must wear covered rubber-soled shoes with heels no taller than 1" inch, hair to be managed so as not to impair vision or interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle and have their learners permit.

3. BTW (behind the wheel) lessons are non-transferable.

4. "Behind the Wheel Only" Program for Teen are 6 weeks long.

5. Please be advised that the hours noted above are estimates. Honolulu Rail Project traffic and other State Highway construction projects will hamper our driving curriculum and driving times. Please be advised that we will deviate and change routes as construction projects and the Rail work moves through Kapolei to Ala Moana Shopping Center.

Parent/Guardian Participation

1. Students must complete the state DOT requirement of 40 daylight hours of practice, and 10 night driving hours with a licensed driver over the age of 21 years old.. Upon completion, the record needs to be notarized and returned to the BTW instructor to receive the [Blue] Behind the Wheel and [Yellow] classroom certificate.

Evaluation and Grading

Students will be graded on their performance and understanding of the in-class instructions and the safe operation of the motor vehicle.

On occasion a student may experience difficulty understanding a lesson. Sketches & Drawings may be given as notes to better understand. Please have your teen work on these items as practice will show improvements. Following lessons will include similar practices as improvement would be needed to advance to more difficult skills.
